Construction Financing

Ground-Up Construction

Capital tailored to your land, budget, and timeline for residential and commercial development projects.

New construction project financed from the ground up

When this path fits

When to Use This Loan

Ground-up construction requires a different capital structure than renovation or transitional financing. We evaluate permit status, builder experience, budget strength, and the feasibility of the overall completion timeline.

Build Single-Family or Small Residential Projects

A fit for investors developing homes, small clusters, or infill projects requiring dedicated construction financing.

Finance Townhome or Multifamily Development

Works for deals that require a lender to evaluate budget, timeline, and delivery strategy together.

Move a Shovel-Ready Project Into Execution

Useful when land, plans, and approvals are in place and construction capital is needed to begin vertical build.

Align Build and Exit Strategy

Strong for borrowers who are already considering refinance, sale, or long-term hold outcomes at completion.

Our Lending Approach

We provide structured draw schedules and transparent underwriting. Our focus is on the project budget, builder experience, and the overall feasibility of the exit strategy.

Built Around the Construction Budget

The project budget, contingency, timeline, and scope all influence how the deal is structured from the outset.

Draw-Driven Planning

Ground-up construction is funded in stages, requiring an ongoing draw process rather than a single lump-sum loan decision.

Direct Lender Communication

Developers and brokers benefit from working directly with the decision-making team reviewing the project.

Exit Strategy Matters Early

Whether the plan is sale, refinance, or long-term hold, the exit strategy is considered at the beginning of the review process.

Strong Fit

  • New construction projects with a clearly defined scope, budget, and timeline
  • Borrowers who can clearly articulate the business plan and path to completion
  • Projects that require staged funding and progress-based draw reviews
  • Broker-submitted construction loans requiring direct lender feedback on structure and feasibility

Another Path May Make More Sense

  • The property is already built and only requires light or moderate renovation
  • The transaction is primarily an acquisition or bridge scenario without a full construction scope
  • Plans, permits, or budget clarity are still too early to support a structured construction review
  • The property is owner-occupied or outside investor-focused lending criteria

FAQs

Questions developers, investors, and brokers commonly ask before moving a construction deal forward.

A ground-up construction loan is a short-term financing solution designed to fund new construction projects from start to finish. It provides a single loan that is typically disbursed in stages as construction progresses, helping manage budget, execution, and completion through to market delivery. Costs commonly covered may include land acquisition (if needed), permitting and project fees, design costs, materials, and labor.
